Overcast this early Thursday on California’s north coast, though, the NWS forecasts ‘Partly Sunny‘ for today, and clear tomorrow. The dinky drizzle expected for last night and this morning never even dinked at all, with the next big storm scheduled for Saturday. Beyond the anxiety-driven despair of this election, how about some even worse shit than…
Bright-sunshine again this near-noon Friday on California’s north coast, supposedly we’re due for about the same the next few days. Meanwhile, way-to-the-east, the opposite in nature as Hurricane Matthew brutishly-swirls along the south Atlantic seaboard — sustained winds, 120 mph. Description of the complication of weather shit — Dr. Jeff Masters at WunderBlog this morning: ‘Matthew’s…
Heavy-deep fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and damp, too, with a chill announcing an approaching seasonal-change. Warm inland, though, as the weather continues… Also relating to a persistence of environment is our drought — a ghastly new study shows the dry is here for the way-long haul with emission levels fueling the…
Fog-bound again this near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast — another day in the life as sunshine expected for the afternoon, and some wind, too. Beyond the climate-change-inducing wildfires and massive rainfall, the down-under of our planet is also wrecking the environment — a recent paper led by James Hansen outlines ‘a dire scenario‘ in…
Foggy-damp and chilly this near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast — opposite poles for the interior, as Willow Creek could top 107-degrees today. Hot doesn’t feel the heat… No wonder, the whole-wide-world is heating — last month was the hottest July (and/or month) ever. Via Climate Central this morning The reign of record hot months in…
Patchy fog this Monday morning on California’s north coast, yet on occasion, sunshine makes half-hearted attempts to slice through the gray, but mostly haphazard at best — might clear before noon maybe. Unless something weird occurs, we should end up with another pleasant day along the shoreline, and somewhat cooler temperatures inland, opposed to the…
Sunshine this afternoon, tempered with cool ocean breezes. Too much temperature — on Wednesday a crucial environment story, an anthrax outbreak in Siberia (via NPR): ‘Officials don’t know exactly how the outbreak started, but the current hypothesis is almost unbelievable: A heat wave has thawed the frozen soil there and with it, a reindeer carcass…
Damp-gray early Friday here on California’s north coast, seemingly the morning-norm nowadays, a way-contrast with recent afternoons of clear, bright skies and warm temperatures. Locally, however, the word, ‘warm,’ doesn’t at all necessarily mean ‘hot‘ — the NWS says we could top 70-degrees today, but I doubt it. Enjoy-ability (and chill factor) depends on the wind,…
Gray and damp this Monday morning on California’s north coast, another day in the life. A bit of guilt even as we cool here on the Pacific shoreline, not far eastward temperatures way-climb, sometimes 20-30-degrees higher — meanwhile, across a big chunk of the US right now, the notorious “heat dome” is frying the citizenry, though,…
Fog-banked again this early Thursday on California’s north coast — not to fret, though, sunshine and warmth will grace our locale, probably before noon. We’re chilled out here right now, but the US midsection is currently sweltering under a phenomenon termed the ‘heat dome,’ or just being way-sweaty, and way-hot. (Illustration found here). In our…
